About the adventure

It's the year 5104 and Earth is twice-baked-over. After decades of strife and war where humanity wrestled against the compulsion to declare itself 'what the universe was made for and should bend to', a united humanity has emerged -- bent but unbroken into a period of relative peace and uneven welfare. The tools of former oppressors and fallen regimes have either been turned to do better works (for example, the tree-to-skyscraper-scale walking armored chassis elite pilots called LANCERs pilot) or lie scattered across the universe as the Third Committee does its best to write the manifold wrongs of the anthrochauvanist 'Sec-Comm'. But the embers of the raging fires of the past have still not gone out. Amongst the vastness of space, the locations of the colonies of the fallen second committee have become lost to time and space -- and one has been recently rediscovered. Having had its own revolt against the authoritarian rule installed upon it, the planet Cressidium wishes to join the Third Committee and its new and united series of planets and nations: 'Union'. You are part of the Union delegation responding to this request and evaluation -- but tensions are high on the surface. As recent graduates of the UNION//LANCER Pilot Program, you and the rest of the 42nd Mobile Chassis Unit aboard the UNS Rio Grande are charged with any emergency response required. This mission was supposed to be a cakewalk; an 'easy win' to cement and help polish off your training. But the tide of war is not something so easily stopped -- and even LANCERs can break upon it. Fire ripples below. The sky is torn asunder above. Can you take the heat, LANCER? This epic campaign is designed for players of any level of experience to LANCER and spans Operation Solstice Rain into Operation Winter Scar with custom missions inserted between the standards. The fate of Cressidium will lie in your hands in a sprawling, likely half-year-to-year long epic series of fights. If you love mecha, from Armored Core to Gundam, you will *love* LANCER.
